That could be ideal.
What sort of terrain is the course? I've biked around there, from Hollingworth and it was *very* boggy across the moor!



I'm new to this and the calendar on this page appeared to be full of people's birthdays!

Try the www.fellrunner.org.uk homepage for the fell calendar, www.ukresults.net is good for a road calendar and also you may find something on www.race-results.co.uk in terms of road.

It's quite a fast course with a steep uphill start on the road and then across the moor in an out and back sort of loop finishing across and down a field on the other side of the road. Have done it twice and don't remember it being boggy, was the 1st fell race that I got in the prizes. Check the course record by Mr Lewis, amazing. Saw his name for the 1st time in a while in the Pilgrims Cross results.

Cheers, I might give it a whirl then. I doubt I'll be breaking any records!

Having never done a Fell Race before, I assume that the usual clothing, compass etc. are required for this race?
